Tips for the microwave

Result Remedy

You cannot find details for the amount

of food prepared.

Find details for similar type of food. Increase or

shorten the length of the cooking time according

to the following rule: double the amount - almost

double the time, half the amount - half the time.

The food after cooking is too dry. Set shorter cooking time or select lower micro-

wave power and cover with material suitable for

use in the microwave.

The food is still not defrosted, hot or

cooked after the end of cooking time .

Set longer cooking time or select higher micro-

wave power. Note that taller dishes generally

need longer cooking time. Stir or turn food during

cooking.

After the end of cooking time the food

is overheated at the edges but is still

not ready in the middle.

Next time select a lower power and a longer

time. Stir liquids, such as soup, halfway through.

Other things to think about…

• Food items have different shapes and

qualities. They are prepared in different

quantities. Because of this, the necessary

time and power for defrosting, heating

or cooking can vary. As a rough guide:

double the quantity - almost double the

time.

• The microwave creates the heat directly

in the food. Because of this, all places

cannot be heated at the same time. You

must stir or turn the heated dishes,

especially when preparing larger

quantities of food.

• The standing time is given in the tables.

Let the food stand, in the appliance or

outside it, so that the heat is distributed

more evenly.

• Adjust the power level according to food

quantity. Using high power level with

small amount of food can burn the food

or generate arcing when you use the

accessories.

• You get better results for rice if you use

flat, wide dishes.

Setting the Microwave function

It depends on the model if your

appliance has knob symbols,

indicators or lamps:

• The indicator comes on when

the oven heats up.

• The lamp comes on when the

appliance operates.

• The symbol shows whether the

knob controls one of the

cooking zones, the oven

functions or the temperature.

1. Turn the knob for the oven functions to

select the Microwave function .

The display shows a default microwave

power and then a default value of the

Duration function.

The appliance starts to operate after few

seconds automatically without user

interaction.

2. To change the microwave power

settings, turn the knob for the

temperature / microwave power. The
